The California.

California

Hotel California.

Whether at home or on holiday: the California is the ideal travel and leisure vehicle in which you feel right at home anywhere. Experience the efficient engines, high-quality interior fittings, modern infotainment and driver assistance systems as well as the innovative mobile online services.

Leaves nothing to be desired.

What began with the Volkswagen camper as a rolling symbol for independence and freedom, has become a true home on four wheels in the California. There is no better way to add to the success fo a legend. And no better way to express your current attitude to life.

Elevating roof

Comfort in a small space.

The elevating roof of the California can be set up in just a few easy steps at your holiday destination or at a stopover. This way, you can create lots of room to move around in the passenger compartment and as night falls you can transform the upper level into a comfortable reclining area. The set-up of the elevating roof must be carried out manually in the California Coast and in the California Ocean the elevating roof is operated electro-hydraulically.

Storage space

Discover practical storage options.

Seats

Look forward to outstanding flexibility.

From ergonomic seats which can rotate roughly 180° to electric 12-way seat adjustment along with a range of seat benches – the California offers you plenty of freedom to configure the vehicle the way you want.

Headlights

Enjoy optimum visibility.

Energy-saving LED headlights and a headlight cleaning system ensure that you can see well. A dimming interior mirror provides additional protection against uncomfortable dazzling from traffic to the rear.

Tailgate spotlights and LEDs in the elevating roof4

Makes loading and unloading easier for you.

Two LED lights on the inside of the tailgate provide more light in the living compartment when it's dark outside. When the tailgate is open, the luggage area and the area behind the tailgate is illuminated to facilitate loading and unloading. The LED lights in the elevating roof and tailgate provide excellent illumination and are operated by easy‑to‑reach switches.

Powerful and economical.

The California features an efficient generation of engines compliant with the Euro 6 emissions standard. This means: you profit from especially low fuel consumption without having to forego driving pleasure.

TDI engines

Extra low fuel consumption with even more power.

Every engine offers particularly low fuel consumption and complies with the Euro 6 emission standard. This results in a low average consumption of 6.2 l/100 km5 with average CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of 162 g/km5. The 2.0 l TDI engine with 150 kW6 is particularly powerful, while also boasting low fuel consumption. Additional engines will be introduced at a later date.

BlueMotion Technology

Save more fuel.

Volkswagen models with BlueMotion Technology are in line with the “Think Blue.” concept: That is why every single one of the state-of-the-art Euro 6 engines is equipped with a start/stop system, regenerative braking, Hill Start Assist and roll resistance-optimised tyres.

4MOTION all-wheel drive

Mountains and snow are no longer obstacles for you.

The optional 4MOTION all-wheel drive provides good traction, optimum handling and steering, and helps you to master even difficult conditions like driving in the mountains and on snow covered tracks. Upon request, the 4MOTION all-wheel drive is also available with the dual clutch gearbox DSG – a unique drive concept in its vehicle class.

Dual clutch gearbox DSG

Enjoy high driving comfort.

The optional 7-speed dual clutch gearbox DSG permits fully automatic, almost imperceptible gear changing with no interruption in power flow, which results in significantly increased driving comfort and efficiency. You can choose between normal and sport mode.

All the comfort of home.

The California offers a lot of comfort with compact dimensions and inspires with up to 4 sleeping places, a fully functional kitchenette along with modern infotainment systems for spontaneous journeys and much more.

Heating and air conditioning

Enjoy a comfortable interior climate.

Modern air conditioning systems adjust the interior temperature in a matter of moments and also provide cool air on hot days. The auxiliary heating delivers warm comfort on cold days. In addition, the heated windscreen offers good visibility in any weather.

Luxury dashboard panel

Unique interior atmosphere awaits you.

The horizontal lines of the exterior design are mirrored inside by the newly designed dash panel. The harmonious interplay of the decorative inserts, decorative trim and interior colour creates a cosy atmosphere. Numerous practical storage and stowage options round off the benefits offered.

Far-sighted companion.

The California offers practical driver assistance and safety systems which support you in critical situations, for example when parking or changing lanes, and much more.

Driver assistance systems

Your support in critical situations.

Intelligent driver assistance systems make travelling in the California even more comfortable because they warn you when the vehicle is in danger of unintentionally changing lanes or if you become tired.
